Free Speech or Fascisim?
There is a large company which has shown it's support of President Bush for the past eight years by having large signs of support on the fence walls which are on both sides of a busy city street corner. (For a while they also had big ugly pictures of the twin towers burning....

Apparently they have not heard the news that George Bush is no longer our president. I keep looking in vain for their new "We support President Obama" signs. These shots were taken today, February 14, 2009. (Maybe the new signs are on back-order?)





This last shot is of the cross that they drape during the Easter season with purple, black and finally, on Easter Sunday, white banners.

3. Can you tell us where these are located?
Unless the place produces Bibles, it appears to be over the top with its religiosity.

5. Behind the cross are flags representing each branch of the military
A few years ago they had pictures of Ronnie Raygun all along the wall. At 4th of July they have light displays featuring military tanks, etc. And of course, a nativity at Xmas. They have flags along the street frontages that say "Freedom isn's Free."

They have big signs at election time supporting their right wing candidates. They had huge signs all around the property supporting Prop. 8.

They are deliberately leaving this Bush sign out. They have changed the other signs since the election.

Definitely fascists.

8. And of course, LOTS of cameras.
But then, they would need them given their extremist behavior.

10. Still sore, huh, that change has come to America?
Don't worry, your life is about to get better.

Shrubbie made a mess of things. It's going to take just a little while longer for Obama to fix all of his mistakes.

11. Yes, thats the difference between a Democratic government v. the Cons
The Cons represent their base only, the Democrats represent all Americans... even the ignorant ones.
